They're some of my favorites because the blooms last more than a day. The bees have a hard time penetrating the thick dense petals though.
They're "rumoured" to be strong too.

Are you not legally allowed to sow them? (I've been trying to find out legality in VIC, and could only see that they were determined a noxious weed).
Thank you,
Apologies, with a slightly different search I found: "It is illegal to take, use, sell or grow poppies without a licence from the Victorian Government. Illegal possession of poppy plant parts or substances derived from poppies is a criminal offence and attracts heavy penalties." I've always seen poppies growing around, and thought it was fine....Guess I should remove the one's from my front yard lol.
I know a lot of people grow them ornamentally, but yes, it is illegal. A judge might throw out a case of your nana growing a few heirloom cottage flowers, but I'd hate to see anyone get themselves in trouble.

A little reductionist but...

And I think it's actually quite simple: anything that doesn't/wouldn't exist without me is me. An 'extension' of me without wanting to sound cliche.
The original idea came to me after I had just walked across a dew-covered park one morning. When I looked back and saw my footsteps, I could see and feel me and my life leading back from where I'd come from.
So yes to all those things man. Memories too. Even your breath god dammit!
I'm thinking this is a probably a bastardisation of the quantum physics theory of 'entanglement'.
Lastly, it's important to also differentiate between "me" and "you". Just because I have a memory of you in my head - which is an extension of you - we are not the same or necessarily one. Rather a small piece of you lives inside me. (Trapped perhaps
). "Me" and "you" = "we"

Thanks for your thoughtful and considered reply. I should add that I'm not seeking answers to these questions. I welcome responses though! I just thought I'd share in case someone else found it helpful, I sometimes go through this when I'm feeling ungrounded and anxious.
The physical is easier to explore this way because you perceive the physical. If we were to perform the same exercise for mental processes it becomes more difficult. But it's equally worthwhile to ponder. Eg. Am I my thoughts? If so, who is it that thinks them? When I talk to myself in my head, who is speaking? And who is listening? Etc.

Where do I begin and end?
An interesting exercise I like to go through is to think about where I start and end.
From a purely physical point of view, is my body a part of me? If I answer "yes", where does my body begin?
What are my physical boundaries?
I suppose it is obvious to some that my body has a torso, head, arms, legs etc. What about my hair and nails? They are part of my body and grow from my body, but what about after I have shed them? Are they still part of me then?
What about the food I eat? Is it a part of me before I eat it? Is it a part of me while I am digesting it? What about my waste? Is it a part of me while I carry it inside my body? If so, is it still part of me after I have expelled it?
Is my boundary defined as my skin edges? What about the warmth my body generates that surrounds me? Is that part of me? My breath?
What about my senses? What are my senses? Are they also bound to the perception of the "external"? If I see and hear and taste and smell, are the sensations part of me? Does that extend to the source of the perception? I can see the Sun, where does the sun end and "me" begin? I can hear a long way into the distance, does the sound I perceive exist without me perceiving it? If not, does that make it part of me?
What of my memories? What of others' memories of me? Are memories of me part of me? If I existed at all and memories are part of me, can I ever be non existent?
When did I begin as a body? I was born, but I grew into a body before I was born. The parts that came together to create my body existed before I was created in my parents, and their parents before them...
When does my body stop being part of me? When I die? If so, is my body like my hair and nails and waste? Part of me until I shed it? If so, is my body me at all if I can shed it and still exist?
I don't have any answers.

Sounds like the rue tea is causing the issues, not zeolite.

Ok I think we have 5 winners. I'll message you all in the coming days and get these out asap. It's a shame you can't sow them, because this would be the perfect time of year!

I think all the recent wet weather has flushed a lot of rodents out. My cat has been bringing me at least one a week at the moment. Which would be fine if he didn't knock over a bunch of cactus pots in the process.

That's unusual. Haven't seen that before. Looks like something has eaten it?

I have found seed retailers of this species to be very unreliable, I have never received any true to type when I've ordered. Or the seeds had close to zero germination. I believe seeds should be almost white for this variety...
Good luck, they look very pretty.
